churches not fewer than 1874 are Presby-
erian.
HERR MOST, the Anarchist, writes in
his paper of " the ignorance of the Amer
lean masses" This is the sublimity of
impudence.
THE Troy, N. Y, Times thinks that "if

LAND would be elected by large major
ity.
THE literary education of women be-
gan to prevail in England in the early

1T is the Christian Register that says
"Never was Christianity in its best man.
Hesitation more genuine or more fruitful.
And, though the name has been misap-
piled and maltreated, never did it stand

in life or enduring in religion"
THE Rev. J. l.. JENKINS, well-known
Congregational minister of Pittsfeld,
Mass, says there are Sin Massachusetts
alone $50 needless churches wasting the
LORDS money" He does not state how
he figures out the odd thirty, but thinks
that "Christian union" would stop the
waste.
THE Congre9ationalist grimly suggests
the following as an appropriate name for

Promotion OF Picnics, Progressive Euchre
Parties, and Theatrical Entertainments,
Successor to the Antioch Disciples Asso-

pei Work"
PROFESSOR RoLFE is declared by Miss
LILLIAN WHITING to have greatly amused
the Boston Browning Society "by stating
that he doubted not that many misprints
were cherished by Browningites who mis-
took them for profundities or obscurities

ingites stand this sort OF thing?
Gov. HILL, OF New York, has signed
the bill passed by the late Legislature

sympathy with the temperance legislation
in the State.

mercy on his SOUL he said. There is not
so much bigotry there now. think the
civil war had more to do with getting the
bigotry out of us than anything else"
ONE of the stranGest of religious sects
is that which calls itself the New and
Latter House Of Israel. Its headquar-
tiers is Chatham, Englsnd, in which town
its deVotses are building an immense

are the remnant of true Israelites, who
will reign with Christ for 1000 years
Their founder was man named Jezriel,
